City Circus Athens
Athens' original boutique hostel in a gorgeous neoclassical building
A boutique hostel in a restored neoclassical building on Sarri Street in Psiri, with a rooftop terrace, bar-restaurant, and organized social events. Wooden floors, design interiors, and an established reputation since 2012.
City Circus Athens has been a fixture of the Athens hostel scene since 2012, housed in a restored neoclassical building on Sarri Street in the Psiri district. The hardwood floors, high ceilings, and carefully maintained original features give it a boutique hotel feel at hostel prices.
The rooftop terrace has city views and serves as the main social space. The ground floor houses a bar-restaurant that does breakfast (paid), happy hour drinks, and evening cocktails. The hostel runs bar crawls, movie nights, evening entertainment, and board game sessions. A shared kitchen is available for self-catering.
The Sarri Street location puts you on the main bar-crawl corridor of Psiri. You are a short walk from Monastiraki metro, Thissio, and the western approach to the Acropolis. The Ancient Agora is visible from the terrace.
Family rooms are available, making it one of the few Athens hostels that welcomes families with children. Airport shuttle can be arranged through the 24-hour front desk. Rooms have hardwood floors, air conditioning, and soundproofing.
